Stevie Ray Vaughan

The greatest modern Texas blues guitarist, Stevie Ray Vaughan single-handedly revived mainstream interest in the blues in the 1980s. His debut album Texas Flood (1983) was a commercial breakthrough, and his cover of Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Child became definitive. Before his tragic death in a helicopter crash in 1990, he won 6 Grammy Awards and recorded enduring blues classics like Pride and Joy and Cold Shot.
